Without Such Breadth of Mind, How Could One Behold the Splendor of the Star River?

Without such breadth of mind, how could one behold the splendor of the Star River?

Ning Rongrong's assessment had been correct.

Ye Qingcang was indeed qualified to disregard her.

But Ye Qingcang did not disregard her.

Amid Ning Rongrong's flattered and astonished expression, Ye Qingcang stopped fiddling with his bracelet, halted, and glanced back at her. Although she was unsure whether that glance had truly been directed at her, she hoped it had been.

And Ye Qingcang's next answer was even more terrifying the more one thought about it.

"Then I'll continue along the lines of what Teacher Qin Ming said..." Ye Qingcang's steady voice drifted across dozens of meters and reached the ears of the Shrek group. There was none of the arrogance they had imagined, making Ning Rongrong immediately begin to doubt the fierce debate Ye Qingcang had just had with Yu Xiaogang in the carriage. "Teacher Qin Ming is right, but not entirely right. I must remind you of something—Blue Tyrant Academy has a rule: all students are qualified only to learn the Stellar Martial Path and Soul Guidance Technology, not to spread them, including graduates. Therefore, no matter how much Teacher Qin Ming learned, even if he only learned the superficial parts, it would still be mixed with a great deal of personal interpretation and misunderstanding. For example, the student who told you the summaries of the first two chapters only mentioned three supernatural traits, but did not tell you that once those three traits are stacked to their limits, they can undergo a second, third, fourth, and even ninth sublimation. Blood Like Mercury Silver can truly cultivate Quicksilver Blood. Divine Craftsmanship can truly cultivate Godly Muscle Demon Back. Flesh and Blood Furnace can truly cultivate Qi and Blood Turns into Furnace. Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke and Blood Flame—these are all things you do not know. Of course, this is perfectly normal."

This was perfectly normal?

It was not normal at all!

Who would tamper with a useless overview?

Qin Ming wore an expression as though he wanted to speak but hesitated. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others also looked as though they did not know what to say. Even Ning Rongrong, who had been delighted that Ye Qingcang had answered her, could not help but freeze upon hearing his response.

However, even more shocking than that astonishing answer was the fact that Ye Qingcang could hear what they had just said from dozens of meters away!

After all, they had not been shouting just now. Qin Ming had merely introduced the Stellar Martial Path and Soul Guidance Technology to them at a normal volume.

Students also passed by from time to time along the roadside.

To clearly hear a conversation dozens of meters away amid the disorderly sound of footsteps—was that kind of perception really something a level-forty Quasi Soul Grandmaster possessed?

The Shrek group did not know.

In any case, they could not do it.

An ordinary person's hearing range was between five and six meters.

Without activating their martial souls, soul masters were merely ordinary people.

Being physically strong did not mean one's senses were sharp.

This was what it meant to be a soul master with an extreme imbalance in specialization!

Still, since Ye Qingcang could hear them speaking from dozens of meters away, Ning Rongrong finally no longer needed to shout when talking to him. "May I ask what the next five chapters of the Stellar Martial Path are?"

"Chapter Three—Surface."

"Impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire: skin."

"Slaying Red Dragon, Subduing White Tiger: hair."

"The cicada senses before the autumn wind stirs: peripheral nerves."

"Chapter Four—Tendons and Bones."

"Dragon Tendon Phoenix Vein: tendons."

"Copper Skin Iron Bones: bones."

"Ice Muscle Jade Bones: the union of tendons and bones."

"Golden Ratio: the complete perfection of Chapters One through Four."

"Chapter Five—Viscera and Bowels."

"Mastery of the Five Elements: the five viscera."

"The liver contains wood: Acquired Control of Wood."

"The heart contains fire: Acquired Control of Fire."

"The spleen contains earth: Acquired Control of Earth."

"The lungs contain metal: Acquired Control of Metal."

"The kidneys contain water: Acquired Control of Water."

"The Six Bowels without leakage: the six bowels."

"The liver and gallbladder are paired internally and externally, opening into the eyes."

"The heart and small intestine are paired internally and externally, opening into the tongue."

"The spleen and stomach are paired internally and externally, opening into the mouth."

"The lungs and large intestine are paired internally and externally, opening into the nose."

"The kidneys and bladder are paired internally and externally, opening into the ears."

"The triple burner functions throughout the body, without leakage or deficiency."

"Chapter Six—Brain Domain."

"Photographic memory: memory."

"The sixth sense: intuition."

"The seventh sense: time."

"The eighth sense: space."

"The ninth sense: a heart as clear as a mirror."

After briefly explaining the contents of those six chapters, Ye Qingcang stopped when he reached Chapter Seven. He paused for two or three seconds, and just as the Shrek group began to feel deeply uncomfortable, he added, "Chapter Seven—Microscopic. Chapter Seven has no clear division of realms. As long as one enters the beginner stage, one can begin learning Magnetic Field Martial Path. You can understand Chapter Seven as the prerequisite for cultivating Magnetic Field Martial Path. If one cannot achieve the microscopic, one can never cultivate Magnetic Field Martial Path."

Unlike the Soul Guidance Technology he had drawn upon.

The Stellar Martial Path was his foundation.

It was the supreme path he had created for himself using "Illusion Realization."

Chapter Seven appeared unremarkable, merely a prerequisite for cultivating Magnetic Field Martial Path. Yet precisely because it had no clear division of realms, its theoretical upper limit was infinite—microscopic did not merely mean inner sight. It allowed one to observe the molecular level within one's body, causing molecules to interact with one another and form a magnetic field. Then, using that infinitesimal magnetic field, one could gradually draw surrounding molecules into it, control the field through the ninth sense, and steadily expand it. That was the operating principle of Chapter Seven, Microscopic. When this magnetic field had been cultivated to a certain extent and could come into contact with the external magnetic field—that was, communicate with the magnetic field of the real world—one had entered the beginner stage of Magnetic Field Martial Path. After entering the beginner stage, there were only two things to strive for: expanding one's own magnetic field, which was Chapter Seven, and increasing the resonance between one's magnetic field and the external magnetic field, which was Magnetic Field Martial Path. Nothing else needed consideration, because every martial artist who successfully set foot upon the path of Magnetic Field Martial Path was equivalent to a child of the world, equivalent to a child of the stars. Even if they had only just made contact with the external magnetic field and could borrow merely one part in a hundred million of its power, a single punch would be no less powerful than a meteor striking a planet, or even an asteroid striking a planet.

In his future conception, the completion of Magnetic Field Martial Path, the middle section of the Stellar Martial Path, should be the use of one's own magnetic field to contain a planet's magnetic field.

As for the yet-unconstructed final section of the Stellar Martial Path, it should be to contain a star with one's fleshly body, to treat the star as one's heart, as one's Five Viscera and Six Bowels, as one's muscles, as one's blood and even one's molecules—turning oneself into a galaxy, or even a universe.

The opening section appeared profound and vast, but compared to the middle section's attempt to command the world, it was nothing.

The middle section appeared arrogantly grandiose, but compared to the final section's attempt to become the universe, it was nothing.

That was precisely why he was humble and low-key.

Although his humility and restraint had already been viewed as arrogance by most of the Shrek group, and only Ning Rongrong could understand even half of its meaning, if he truly wished to be arrogant, then with the power he could currently borrow from one part in a hundred million of this world's magnetic field, he could unleash destructive force at level forty comparable to a level-ninety-five Super Douluo. If he chose to act arrogantly, he could point at anyone in the world and curse, "Compared to me, all of you are trash!"

That was also why he felt nothing toward Tang San.

You walk your Single-Plank Bridge, and I will walk my Yangguan Road.

I would not kill you without reason like so many transmigrators, but neither am I interested in becoming your friend or believing that you are the protagonist.

Perhaps you are the protagonist of Douluo Continent.

But the Douluo Continent I inhabit may already have become a Parallel World because of my arrival. I am the protagonist of my own story!

Or rather, everyone is the protagonist of their own story!

Without such breadth of mind, how could one behold the splendor of the Star River?
